HT204387 My iphone and ipad can see each other on bluetooth but can't connect

When I touch to connect, I get an error that reads 'make sure the iphone is turned on and in range". I can see the bluetooth connection on both devices, they just won't connect. I have turned off wifi on both devices. I have also tried connecting to & from both devices.

I downloaded an app that can share a presentation loaded on one device with up to 15 other iOS devices. It said it would work over bluetooth. I didn't realize you couldn't "pair" the devices but still use bluetooth. The developer said just to turn them both on and low and behold, it works like a charm and I feel silly.
Thanks for your interest, I've learned a lot today.

7th Gen Non and iMac appear on each others device list but will not connect

My new 7th Gen nano and imac appear in each others blue tooth devices list but will not connect. I've tried several time and have reset the nano twice. All suggestions greatfully received.

Hey Al,
I read that your iPod nano is compatible with the following Bluetooth items: headsets, speakers, and hands-free systems in some automobiles. These are the profiles it supports:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
With the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, you can stream high-quality audio (stereo or mono) from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection. Use it to play music wirelessly from iPod nano to a wireless headset or a compatible car audio system.
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP)
With this profile, you can remotely control playback functions on the iPod nano from compatible devices (commonly Bluetooth devices that use the A2DP profile). iPod nano works with the pause, play, stop, next track, and previous track commands.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BT LE)
Use low-powered Bluetooth accessories with the Bluetooth Low Energy profile. iPod nano works with Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate Monitors.

That sounds like it might be why you're having difficulty connecting. If you want to sync your iPod nano with iTunes, I'd read through this document:

Iphone and Ipad Close to each other: Drains phone Battery?

Just an experience I have had that I wanted to share with all those that use an Ipad AND an Iphone:
I have found that if I leave my iphone next to my ipad, and neither of them is charging, the battery on the iphone will be totally discharged within about an hour or so!
This has happened to me three times now, and I figured out what was going on!
I have no idea why this occurs (but I ASSUME that the Iphone is "talking" to the Ipad?).
The first time this happened, the iphone battery was so depleted that I had to charge it for about 30 minutes before it would boot up.
I see lots of questions on the Apple site referring to battery problems with the iPhone and this issue my address some of the battery discharge questions.

I agree....but the bluetooth feature on both the phone and the ipad are not used. Why this happens is beyond me.
I was wondering if it has something to do with the cloud stuff due to the fact that when I download SOME apps (not all apps) on the ipad, it also downloads to the iphone. My thought was that maybe that is where the issue may orginate from.
I just don't know...but I do know now to keep the two separated from each other when they aren't charging!

When I connect via face time with my friend's ipad or iphone we can see each other and I can hear them but they can't hear me. HELP!

When I connect from my mac via facetime with my friend's iphone or ipad we can see each other and I can hear them but they can't hear me. The mute is not applied, and the microphone seems to work with other applications. Help!

I have same issue in my MB Air with Snow Leopard. It used to work fine but one day I found that the mic mute was locked on. I went to System and ensured mic was working by seeing the bars move. I went to Facetime > Video drop down and it is all greyed out so not active and the mic symbol in Facetime pane has a line through it (muted) and is dead. I have tried everythinng to UNmute the mic. Two way video is fine and I can hear the other party perfectly. Seems like this happened about the time of a Snow Leopard update but may be wrong. Issue is several months old and, well, getting old! I love Facetime with my grandkids etc. who all use Apple stuff. There HAS to be a way to reactivate the mic in my MB Air. Could someone please help??

HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
Thanks

So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

I've done all of these recommended steps. My problem is that I have a new laptop that I am trying to sync my iPhone (and iPad for that matter) via Wi-Fi but both devices are looking for the old laptop to sync. My iTunes is version 11.0..3.42, iPhone is 6.1.4, and iPad 6.1.3. Any suggestions?

All I had to do was complain. I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store. I have no idea why.

No ideas, but I wanted to let you and the community know that following update of my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1, all three iWork apps crash within a second of opening.
Re-power and soft reset made no difference.

HT1338 I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

I can see my photos in iphoto but can't email them, edit them or print them....help please!

First, what is the formatting of the external hard drive? It should be OS X Extended (journaled). You can determine it by selecting the EHD and typing Command + i.
Click to view full size
If it isn't formatted to that you should move the library off of it and reformat.
The "!" is an indication that the file path to the original file has been broken So make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

TS3999 I am trying to merge my calendar with my wife's with I cloud so that we both can see each others. how do I do this

my wife and I have iPhones and separate accounts with icloud. Is there a way that we can merge them together through icloud to allow us to see each other's calender?

It is very difficult to do this if you want it to look a bit convincing, but if you don't want something very realistic but just to do it for fun it may be doable.
What you want is to put one clip atop the other and use a mask.
If you use a still image of your baby and your moving lips do not move a lot within the frame, this looks possible and not too difficult.
Apply the "Vignette Mask" to your clip and adjust its size, position an fallof parameters so that the vignette captures just your mouth. And use the Transform tool to resize and position over your baby's mouth.
You may end up with something a little better than this quick and dirty example I just made :-)
Edit: just after I posted I realized that Karsten beat me :-)

I installed the latest version of iTunes (10.6.3.25) on a new Windows 7 PC. I can see ahred libraries on Shared but can't import as the line containing the Settings and Import buttons does not display. Any suggestions?

To move the iTunes library to this new computer I switched on Home Sharing and can see the other libraries on my home network. If I select tracks from a Shared library I can't import them as the strip containing "Show: All Items" and the "Settings" and "Import" buttons, does not display at the bottom of the screen. Goes straight from the list of tracks to the strip with Playlist icons and xxxx items, tttttt total time, yyyy GB.
Any suggestions for making the Import button appear?

I'd like to connect my ipod touch (3rd generation) to my ipad2, but I don't see each other through bluetooth. What should I do?

Hi,
I am trying to connect an iPod touch 3rd (ios 5.1.1) generation to control my KEYNOTE's presentations in my iPad2 (ios 6.1.3). I activated bluetooth in both but they do not see each other. Is there any specific procedure to allow the connection or it is a problem of compatibility between versions of ios?
I appreciate any input.

iPhone: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth ON.
iPad: Go to Settings > General > Bluetooth and turn Bluetooth.
On the iPad running Keynote, open your Keynote presentation.
Tap the Tools icon in the toolbar.
In the Tools menu, tap Settings.
In the Settings menu, tap Remote.
In the Remote Settings menu, turn on Enable Remotes.
On the iPhone, open the Keynote Remote app.
In the iPhone Settings window, tap New Keynote Link.
On the iPad, the name of the iPhone appears in the Remote Settings window; tap Link.
On the iPad, enter the four digit number that is displayed on the iPhone, and then tap Done.
iPhone: Open the Keynote Remote app. You can begin to control your slideshow from your iPhone by tapping Play Slideshow.
